Nominees

RESAAS

We normally don’t do this, you know, talk about ourselves. This time is a rare exception. 2016 was a big year for our growing real estate tech company, RESAAS. We released RealTime MLS® - a software that allows MLSs access to all transactional data regardless of if the property sold before hitting the MLS or after. The solution was adopted by one of the most innovative MLSs in the U.S. - San Francisco Association of REALTORS® (SFAR). As a result, SFAR won Inman’s ‘Most Innovative MLS or Association’ at the 2016 Inman Connect Conference.

Contactually

Last February the CEO of the web-based customer relationship management provider, Contactually, posted a blog noting how bad their app “sucked”. So, as any true innovator would, they admitted their mistakes, failed fast and rebuilt. Now with $8M in investments towards a new and improved app, Contactually came out swinging. Sure enough the result was a much better, seamlessly updated app. The industry took note - Contactually has noted great adoption amongst new and existing customers.

Compass

Surprise, surprise. Compass makes the list for ‘Emerging Technology’. The New York-based brokerage perfectly collides real estate and technology into one beautiful package. 2016 was a huge year for Compass as they were able to raise $75M in funding, receive a company valuation of $1B and most of all launched their new app which is changing the way consumers and agents gain insightful real estate data. The app, ‘Compass Homes’, gives both consumers and agents access to media comparable market data and listing search within their area. It’s only been four years since Compass hit the scene and they’re not showing any signs of slowing down.
